Entrance ticket to Hanbury Botanic Gardens

The Hanbury Botanical Gardens are located on the promontory of Capo Mortola (Ventimiglia) a few kilometers from the French border on an area of about 18 hectares. The promontory enjoys an exceptionally mild climate; the existence of different microclimates has favored the planting and the acclimatization of essences coming from all over the world.

Created by Sir Thomas Hanbury in 1867, the gardens have become one of the most important acclimatization parks in the world. In 1960 the Italian state purchased the complex from the heirs, which, in 1962, was entrusted to the International Institute of Ligurian Studies. In 1979 this institute renounced the burdensome post-war reconstruction effort and subsequently, in 1987, the management was definitively entrusted to the University of Genoa.
